A guide to the first steps of adding serverless functions to your Angular application using Netlify Functions.

Being able to add serverless functions to your Angular application opens up a world of opportunities for getting data to your users. Netlify Functions makes it easier to utilize serverless functions by managing the infrastructure. They do this by creating a wrapper around AWS Lambda functions so that we can have the power without the pain.

🧠 We also have Background Functions in Beta if you need extended execution times.

To start us off, I wanted to show you the very fist steps:

  • setting up a Netlify Function in an Angular app
  • creating a bare-bones function
  • testing it locally
  • serving it up on Netlify &
  • testing it in production

This will be enough information to let us hit the ground running towards a dynamic data dynasty ✧_。٩(ˊᗜˋ_)و✧/*。!

⏭ Just want to fast-forward to using this function? Here is a template repo, or go even faster by using this button to deploy the project to Netlify:
